Gillian Plowman won the Verity Bargate award in 1988 with ME AND MY FRIEND, a poignantly funny play about the release of four patients from a psychiatric hospital into the community. This play is a brave and tender play rich in affection and humor.
Gillian Plowman's writing receives wide recognition for its ability to entertain and to handle important and sensitive topics with humour and insight. Many of Gillian's one act and one full length plays have been published and they are constantly being performed in festivals, schools, colleges and on the fringe. Because they are challenging to perform and enjoyable to watch the release of each new play is eagerly awaited by an ever increasing circle of admirers.
